Traps

Since I had (have) more of them, I had another go at a random scrappy bits thingy - this one's even smaller.

I don't like it as much - I think it lacks the variety of the other one. It's just a whole lot of similar pinks. But it makes me really want to do a random cathederal quilt, with sashing, maybe even in black so it looks even more like leadlighting.

In the meantime, I forgot that I took this picture yesterday before work. It acually makes it look like the weather's been nice down here.

But it's a trap.

I'm calling it "lattice," but only because I'm not great at names.

Even though I had planned on resuming hermitting, it hasn't really worked. And even when I am hermitting, other people have parties here, and it's difficult to hermit when there's peeps sleeping in your lounge. It's also difficult to cut and press fabrics, which is why the quilt top I made last night doesn't have a back, despite really needing to be all finished in about 3 days.

It's another square quilt, similar to the back of the pavement quilt, but made partially with the few stragglers of a layer cake that didn't fit into my idea for the design for the rest of them.

As a result, it's a bit bigger than the other one, so I didn't bother with the wide border, but I think the fact that the squares are bigger makes it look a bit too white. But that could just be because it was hideously overcast this afternoon, and I couldn't get a nice photo.

Still, it's considerably less pink than the Pink Pavement quilt, and that's what I was going for, so yay my mad skillz!

Thoughts on a blowfly...

What I think now: The first blowfly of the season! Hurrah! Byebye nasty weather! One month into spring and from now on it should just keep getting warmer and better! Yay Blowfly!

What I will think in two months time: AARGHJUSTDIEALREADYYABASTARDS.

What Babycat is thinking: buzzy thing... new buzzy thing... look it's a buzzy thing... wanna catch the buzzy thing... if I climb the curtains I can catch the buzzy thing... mum, look, a buzzy thing... look out buzzy thing, here I come... (leaps onto curtain, falls off. repeats)
